$122 worth of Groceries for $10 at Kroger: See How I Did It

This is a break down of what I bought this week at Kroger. I did 2 transactions.
Lots of these involve printed coupons, so even if you dont get the Sunday newspaper you can get some nice deals
SS = SmartSource coupon insert in Sundays newspaper
RP = RedPlum coupon insert in Sundays newspaper
P&G = Proctor and Gamble coupon insert in Sundays newspaper

To see a full list of the best deals around town this week see my post HERE

Paid $10.07 for all this worth $122.43

Transaction #1

2- boxes of Playtex Sport tampons 18 count $1.99 each
- two copies of the $2 off 1 coupon from SS Oct 6th
= 2 boxes for FREE

10- cans of Campbell's mushroom soup that are part of the buy 10 save $5 sale, at 50¢ each
-2 coupons for $1 off 5 found HERE 
= $3 you pay out of pocket, but your supposed to get a $2.50 catalina for buying 10 which will print out with the receipt after you pay. That makes it 10 cans for 50¢ if that darn catalina would have printed! Could have just been my register.

8- Gillette Satin Care 7oz shave gels part of the Buy 10 Save $5, at $1.49 each
= $11.92
-4 copies of the $3 off your purchase of 2 Gillette shave products from P&G Oct 27th
= FREE plus 8¢ overage

Total # of items = 20 because I need sets of 10 for the Buy 10 Save $5 promotion

Total value without coupons: $40.90
Total I paid after coupons: $2.92
You might score an even better deal on the Campbell's Condensed soups. If any of the Mushroom or Chicken condensed soups DONT have "Great for Cooking" or "Healthy Request" then you will get a catalina for $2.50 off your next grocery purchase.
I'm pretty sure all of the ones in my store had "Great for Cooking" on them, but I didn't check thoroughly either. Some stores may be different. Its worth a look.

If you do get the catalina, then use it in transaction #2
